Project Information
I love the old stereo consoles of the '60s and '70s. The original one was quite dated and had a few parts that weren't worth repairing. I convinced my wife to let me build a better looking one. This is made from white oak and finished with Minwax Toung Oil Finish. I know some of you are probably cringing about that, but I've found it to be a very pleasant finish. It goes on easy and looks decent. This was my first project with white oak. I understand now why I should use a grain sealer before finishing.
The original turntable and speakers were salvaged from the old unit, but the amp had to be replaced. I installed an outlet inside the unit to power the individual components. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out.
